boyfriend

Via our friends at Lollie Shopping:

When the boyfriend jean first hit the scene and Katie Holmes and Reese Witherspoon were sporting the look around L.A., I just wasn’t digging it. Sure I loved the idea of a loose-fitting jean, but this new trend was coming off as just plain sloppy, as far as I was concerned. Maybe skinny girls who wear a size 2 can get away with sloppy, but we everyday women with hips and curves can’t get away with sloppy. On us, sloppy looks frumpy.

That’s why I’m so grateful for the new evolution of the boyfriend jean, still relaxed but with a more tailored fit and narrower legs. I like to call this version Boyfriend 2.0. And while I first discovered it at Shopbop in the form of Genetic Denim’s Davis Slouchy Cigarette Jean, I also found a similar style at Express called Boyfriend Jean – Hail Destroyed. Either jean is bound to give you a more refined look while maintaining a chic edge.
